Records Management Unit

Updates

The Records Management Unit is simplifying the process of disposing of records to reduce the number of hard copies and signatures required. We have updated the forms and information sheet, so please familiarise yourself with the changes before disposing of records.

University business areas with existing storage arrangements with Iron Mountain are advised that the company is now called ZircoDATA. Apart from their website and email address, there are no other significant changes.

The University is upgrading HPRM to version 8.3 over the weekend of 3-4th of September, 2016. We will be running information sessions via video conference in Hobart and Launceston on the 1st of September to help users prepare for the upgrade.

The Tasmanian Archive & Heritage Office (TAHO) has published a new Digitisation Toolkit incorporating updated and expanded guidelines and advice about digitising records. Any University business areas contemplating digitising their paper
records should familiarise themselves with the toolkit before proceeding.

The Tasmanian Archive & Heritage Office has released new advices on appraising records and Registers of Records Destroyed. All staff involved in the disposal of records are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the new Advices.
